Who needs boost? Not this Viper. This is a naturally aspirated beast making over 700 horsepower to the tires. To put this in perspective a factory stock Gen V Dodge Viper 8.4 liter V10 produces 520 horsepower to the wheels on a Dynojet in SAE correction.

Add in headers, a cam, heads, an exhaust, E85, and a Motec M1 and you get this:

742 rear wheel horsepower and 645 lb-ft of torque at the wheels. This is a built motor example although a stock internal motor should not have too much trouble matching the numbers:

This has our built engine, heads, and R grind fixed cam. It also is running our Nth Moto fabricated race headers and high flow exhaust. It is rowdy, snotty, and not for everyone. That being said, it's downright awesome

Thats a claim thrown around which is BS honestly. They couldn't improve on Viper without changing its philosophy. Gen V has fancy carbon fiber, kevlar and aluminum parts. Its fairly light, much lighter than a equivalent from Ferrari (F12). The chassis as good it gets. Its making more power per liter than any other OHV engine by a long shot, even than the mighty LS7 and no one said it was heldback engine. Yeah they could add cnc'd heads with lumpy cam etc... but it wouldnt be a street engine with low emissions.

They could add forced induction, dct, and even make it lighter. For sure. But it would be a much more expensive sports car which doesnt share the same rawness and philosophy as a Viper.

Bottom line is the only thing held Viper back is the lack of enthusiasts who just buy the damn thing. People always complain about how cars are not pure as before, they are soft and dont have that special feel they used to have. However, those guys only have themselves to blame.

No one can tell me that claim is BS with the amount of power left of the table without adding forced induction. Furthermore, the amount of trim levels offered leaves me to suspect that they weren't given free reign to make the car as upmarket as they wanted hence being left with a car that couldn't out run a C6 ZR-1. The engineers at SRT seemed more than willing and able to throw the kitchen table at it like they do over at Chevy who promotes in house rivalries to get the most out of their performance car but when you're under the Fiat umbrella with people like Ferrari who demand to be the best by limiting the competition that's not possible. If i'm wrong ask Maserati
